Freeland Geneva is a genever-inspired gin from Portland, Oregon, built on Oregon-grown rye and malt with savory botanicals and Willamette Valley hazelnuts, bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
Freeland Spirits is named after its founder's grandmother, so it is fitting that it makes a spirit inspired by genever, the Dutch grandmother of gin. Geneva showcases Oregon in every pour: a malt-juniper spirit made with Oregon-grown rye and an array of sultry, savory botanicals, including Willamette Valley hazelnuts, cassia bark, licorice and caraway, in a rose-tinted bottle embossed Freeland, Portland, Oregon.
A rich grain backbone is heightened by peaks of alluring spice, earthy notes and a subtle malty sweetness, with hints of hazelnut, citrus and caraway.
The blush-pink teardrop bottle makes it a beautiful gift.
Genever is the malty Dutch forerunner of modern gin.
Its grain base gives it more body than a London Dry gin.
Serve it chilled in a small tulip glass.
It makes a classic Holland House or Martinez.
Try it in an Old Fashioned in place of whiskey.
A splash of tonic and a lemon twist makes a lighter highball.
It suits a Collins with fresh lemon and soda.
Toasted hazelnuts make a natural pairing.
It is a thoughtful gift for gin and whiskey drinkers alike.
The pink bottle looks beautiful on a home bar.
Oregon craft spirit fans will appreciate it.
